Cnoc Seoda the highlight as Queally records second double of career

Declan Queally, younger brother of top flat jockey Tom, recorded the second racecourse double of his career (had a double at Limerick on January 25th) at Cork yesterday.

Cnoc Seoda, trained by Queally’s father Declan Senior, provided him with his first winner in the opening Qualified Riders Maiden Hurdle.

This daughter of Dr Massini clearly appreciated the step up in trip and, given a beautifully judged waited ride by Queally, she hit the front at the second last and stayed on strongly from there to score by seven lengths at 5/1. The 7-y-o mare was recording her first racecourse success, but had won two point-to-points at Dromahane in November of 2009 and at Affane last November.
